 Sale Terms and Conditions
  1. General ►Our policies, procedures, and sales terms are subject to change without notice, so please check back on this website for any updates or you may E-mail us regarding any last minute changes (if any).
  2. Guarantee ►F BAR Longhorns warrants that our Longhorns are as advertised and represented (subject to inadvertent typographical errors); and, are free of any diseases or medical problems known to us. However, we do not warrant that any particular Longhorn to be fit for any particular purpose, activity, or use, since every buyer has their own program. In the event that an animal you contracted for becomes seriously ill, injured, or dies prior to your taking delivery, we will either (a) refund all monies paid by you; or, (b) you may apply those monies paid to purchase another one of our animals that we have for sale.
  3. Prices / Our Right of Withdrawal ► Most of our cattle are for sale, however, for the sake of our breeding program goals, foundation animals may be unavailable for purchase due to the integral part they might play in that effort. In some cases, we may select a new heifer or bull to add to our own breeding herd. This will be noted in the website information about that animal or on our price list. We reserve the right to withdraw any animal advertised for sale at any time, for any reason, without advance notice, as long as no formal written offer is pending within 30 days. Prices are subject to change with the Longhorn's size, age, or pregnancy status. Once we have a written offer to purchase by you and a deposit has been made, then you are guaranteed that price for 30 days or as otherwise agreed upon at the time of our formal agreement. Prices may change at any time and without notice, due to market fluctuations, herd size, calving date, and re-breeding schedules.
  4. If You Change Your Mind ► Should you change your mind about completing a purchase within the first 30 days of our written agreement, we will refund your deposit, less $100 retained by us for administrative charges.
  5. Pregnancy Checks ► Should you purchase a bred female from us, we will provide you with the date of breeding (or dates of exposure). Should you desire a pregnancy test (by either palpation or blood test), the Veterinary charges for testing will be passed on to you. No other warranties for live offspring are either expressed or implied.
  6. Bull ► Should you purchase a male from us (unless otherwise noted on the sales contract), the animal is sold "as is" without warranty as to ability to sire: however, we semen test all males prior to final sale and delivery of the male to you. No males are sold for breeding purposes without a valid semen test and viability.
  7. Possession ► After acceptance of an offer to purchase and payment transactions are completed, the Buyer will assume full responsibility for the animal. A down payment in a layaway situation on an animal constitutes a decision to purchase and is not refundable. The sole risk and responsibility for the animal belongs to the new owner at time of signed contract or money exchange, whatever comes first. This includes medical work above and beyond normal vaccinations. Possession cannot be obtained until full payment for the animal has cleared. Should the Buyer want to delay the pick-up of the animal after full payment has been made, boarding fees may incur as outlined below. Animals left with us for rebreeding will normally not incur boarding fees, if the subsequent rebreeding is included in the transaction. Buyer should obtain his/her own insurance, policy effective date of your final payment and legal possession.
  8. Delivery ►F BAR Longhorns "may" be able to deliver your new Longhorn within 100 miles of Oakalla, TX. Transport charges will be $2.00 per loaded mile ($75. minimum charge), one way (charge subject to change with fuel costs).
  9. Payment Methods ►Full payment is required at the time of purchase, except for special or seasonal "lay-away" arrangements. We will accept deposits of 50% of the purchase price to hold an unweaned calf in your name until it is old enough to leave the ranch. Payment will be accepted via cash or cashier's check. Personal checks are only accepted from established customers. For long distance orders or large purchases, wire transfers can be arranged. Checks should be made payable to: Lee Falkenhagen
  10. Lay-A-Way Program ► Should you wish to purchase a Longhorn on this program, you may do so with a 25% deposit (but not less than $250.) at time of Contract, with the full balance being due not later than 90 days from date of contract. As such, minimum monthly payments shall be at least $250. with any balance due payable prior to taking possession of the animal. Any necessary Vet charges will be billed to you and payable monthly. Should you decide to terminate your Lay-A-Way program on or before the end of the three months period, $125 of any monies you have paid us to that date shall be retained by us for administrative charges.
  11. Boarding ► Boarding fees for adult animals will be $5.00 per day for summer months (April - August) and $10.00 per day for fall/winter months (September - March). Calves, at side of a dam visiting for breeding, will be charged at $1.00 per day. Young F BAR calves purchased before they are weaned will not be subject to a boarding fee until weaning has occurred and after a three-week adjustment period for the calf. We strongly suggest a two-three week period before taking possession of a newly-weaned, young calf. Boarding fees are subject to change without notice based on fluctuations of feed and fuel costs.
  12. Registration ► A TLBAA Registration Certificate and transfer of ownership will be furnished to the buyer free of charge upon the qualified sale of an animal. Transfers will not be completed until all payment has cleared.
  13. New Calves ► If a cow has a pre-weaned calf at time of sale, F BAR Longhorns reserves the right to not sell the calf at side and maintain possession of cow until weaning. At the time of birth, all calves are priced as separate animals and prices reflect separate sale transactions.
  14. Health & Branding ► All heifer calves born and raised at F BAR Longhorns will have received their Official Calf hood Vaccination (OCV) for brucellosis. All calves are also vaccinated for blackleg, upper respiratory and other viral infections, lepto/vibrio, and will have received scheduled worming medications. All calves born and raised at F BAR Longhorns will be branded with our holding brand before leaving the ranch.
  15. New Breeders ► Longhorns like other cattle are herd animals. If you are new to the Longhorn industry, we ask you to either purchase two cattle or show that you are purchasing at least one other cow/heifer from another ranch.
